The purpose of this note is to support evaluators looking at evaluating the COVID-19 response and recovery efforts with methodologies, evaluative approaches and reference materials. The evaluation assesses how well the donor agencies, individually and jointly, have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in Bolivia and what learning can be drawn from that to inform future responses to similar emergencies.
